This is one of those things every parent means to learn… and then never actually does. Usually because an all weekend course is overwhelming and impossible to schedule.

I’m hosting a small, hands-on CPR workshop for everyday parents, focused on babies, toddlers, and what this actually looks like at home. It's not a long, daunting course or a sit-and-listen lecture. You’ll practice the skills, ask your questions, and leave knowing what to do.

As an RN with 18+ years of experience (including NICU), I’ll walk you through infant and child CPR, what to do if your baby is choking, and how to recognize when you actually need to step in. Real-life, practical, no fluff.

It’s limited to 6 couples so everyone gets hands-on time and support.

If this has been sitting in the back of your mind as something you should probably learn, this is your sign.

What if your days felt… calmer?

You wake up tired, but not wrecked.
You know what your baby needs and when.
Naps feel predictable enough that you can actually sit down… and finish a coffee.
Night wakings don’t throw everything off because you have a plan.
You’re not guessing or second-guessing

This is what happens when sleep starts to make sense.

It's not perfect or rigid. It is clear and realistic.

As an RN, I look at your baby’s full picture to understand what's really going on. I'll help you recognize the patterns so you can move through your days with more confidence and a lot less chaos. Check out my blog about why Calgary families are reaching out for sleep support (link in bio)

If you’re ready to stop just getting through and start feeling like you’ve got this…

Comment "CALL" and I'll send you the link to book.

If you’re browsing Kids Fair YYC online and you’ve got a newborn (or one on the way), these are the feeding finds I’d actually spend money on.

There’s a lot out there. Some helpful, some… not so much.

As an RN, I’m always looking at what makes feeding easier in real life. You need tools that are functional and easy to use a eleventy twenty p.m.

These are a few of my go-to picks you’ll find through the fair and *why* they’re worth it.

Save this so you’ve got a plan while you’re scrolling.

And if feeding already feels confusing or harder than it should, that’s exactly what I help with.

Book a feeding consult through the link in my bio and let’s make a plan that actually works for your baby.

Are you ready?!

Early access shopping for Kids Fair YYC starts on Thursday! And there is some goooood deals!!!!
Keep swiping for my list of NICU must haves for new parents and follow along this week, I’ll be posting your best bets each day!

Not everything at a baby fair is created equal.
One of the things I actually love about Kids Fair YYC is that there are quality checks behind the scenes. It’s not just random products — there’s intention behind what shows up.
Because let’s be honest… baby stuff is expensive, and most parents don’t have time (or energy) to trial and error their way through what actually works.
As a NICU RN, I’m all about function over cuteness. So this week, I’ll be resharing my Top 10 Summer Must-Haves with links to items you can find right at the fair.
Watch for the blog later this week! If you’re looking for the Newborn must have list, check out the link in bio for my blog!

Feeding isn’t supposed to feel like a constant question mark.

But for a lot of families, it does.

Long feeds. Short feeds. Baby falling asleep. Waking up hungry. Wondering if they’re getting enough.

This is exactly what I help with.

As a NICU RN, I assess feeding from every angle and create a plan that actually fits your baby and your life.

No guessing. No trial and error.

And this is usually what happens next:
“I finally feel like I understand what’s going on.”
“Feeding doesn’t feel stressful anymore.”
“I wish I had done this sooner.”

Many families are able to submit services under extended health benefits for Registered Nursing, so it’s worth checking your coverage.

If feeding feels harder than it should, you don’t have to keep guessing.

DM me and let’s figure out your next step.

You did all the learning 📖and felt totally ready for breastfeeding. And then your baby threw a wrench in all your plans.

If I know babies (and after 17 years working NICU, I do , in fact, know babies🤓) they are super good at doing the opposite of whatever you think they’ll do.

So here’s the deal, if you find you don’t know what else to do to fix things, book a discovery call and let’s chat💬. We can work through your breastfeeding challenges together so you and your baby are on the same page.

5 Mistakes I see parents make everyday in the NICU:

1️⃣ Bottle feeding baby in a cradled position
The typical positioning you always see in movies or tv is not great for baby. Side lying baby to feed allows you to have more control over the bottle flow and watch for baby’s cues.

2️⃣ Being over precise about diaper cream
Put it this way: if the skin is covered by cream, it’s not getting exposed to p**p that can cause diaper rash. Don’t be stingy!!

3️⃣ Changing diapers after a feed
Change the diaper BEFORE the feed so you don’t have to disturb your baby after the feed.

4️⃣ Mistaking active sleep for awakeness
Active sleep is 📣📢 loud!!! Like loud loud. Grunting, farting, burping, groaning, straining, etc. Make sure they’re awake before you disturb them.

5️⃣ Being over - gentle burping
I know your baby seems very fragile. And it’s true we need to support their head and neck to begin with BUT pat their back like you mean it when you’re trying to burp them.
